They all have hidden attributes!

"Will Acheng become a father who spoils his child in the future?"

"Please have some confidence in me and remove the [probably]."

While we were chatting, Supervisor Chihaya walked into the classroom through the front door, carrying the teaching materials.

"Everyone, the morning meeting is about to begin. Please return to your seats and remain quiet."

The previously noisy classroom quickly quieted down, and the students hurriedly returned to their seats. Nekoya Hina was no exception, sitting upright next to Takahashi Makoto across the aisle.

Supervisor Chihaya, with her adorable chubby face, tried her best to put on a serious expression. Her gaze swept across the classroom, and after confirming everyone was present, she cleared her throat lightly.

"This semester, a student who was admitted early will join our class temporarily. We all need to get along well."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to the front door of the classroom: "Please come in, Hanakawa-kun."

Amidst whispers, her petite and adorable figure entered the classroom under the spotlight.

After writing her name and its Romanized spelling on the blackboard, Hanakawa Kaori turned to face the students below, winked at Takahashi Makoto, and then introduced herself with a big smile.

"My name is Hanakawa Kaori. My brother likes me so much that I transferred here. Please take good care of me."

The moment the words were spoken, the classroom, which had just quieted down, became noisy again.

Aside from compliments like "So cute~" and "The name is adorable," most of the discussion revolved around gossiping about the term "older brother."

"Isn't Hanakawa the lead singer of NiceFold? Does 'older brother' refer to Takahashi?" A girl in the front row raised her hand to ask.

"Yeah."

"Was Hanakawa admitted early?" another girl asked.

"Yes, it's a special admission program for badminton."

"What are Hanakawa-kun's hobbies?"

"Guitar, and your brother, right?"

Hanakawa Kaori tilted her head slightly and smiled mischievously: "Just kidding. Besides my brother, I also hope to become friends with everyone."

After she answered a few questions briefly, Supervisor Chihaya clasped her hands together to quiet the classroom and said, "Hanakawa-san, please sit in the empty seat next to Nekoya-san."

"Good~"

After Hanakawa Kaori stepped down from the podium and pulled out a chair to sit down, Supervisor Chihaya clapped her hands again to attract everyone's attention before talking about the arrangements for this semester.

"Everyone should work hard in the new semester. First is the opening exam, which will be held on Thursday and Friday. This exam is a joint exam for high schools in Tokyo."

"A significant drop in exam results will result in a ban from participating in club activities."

A chorus of complaints and groans erupted in the classroom. Supervisor Chihaya continued emotionlessly:

"This cultural festival will be prepared by student clubs, and it will take place next week. A site visit will also be held..."

"After deliberation by the college, it has been decided that the term of the current student council will be extended by one year following the student organization's leadership transition..."

"The arrangements for the school trip will be decided by the student council based on the circumstances..."

The morning meeting ended when the bell rang for the first class.

During recess, Hanakawa Kaori was surrounded by her classmates, and Nekoya Hina had to leave her seat because the crowd was too noisy.

"Cheng, why do I suddenly feel a bit annoyed with her?" She leaned closer to Takahashi Cheng and asked unhappily.

"That's normal. Hanaori is very good at using interpersonal relationships to achieve her goals."

Makoto Takahashi flipped through the light novel in his hand as if it were none of his business, and said without even looking up, "Maya also thinks she's a bit worldly and hypocritical, just a kid."

Hanakawa Kaori directly called him "older brother" during her self-introduction. Her main purpose was to establish various interpersonal relationships, gain a high status in the class, and avoid being bullied.

"You annoying brat," Hina Nekoya remarked unhappily.

"Because she didn't mention you at all, right?" Takahashi Makoto asked.

"She called me 'sister' so enthusiastically during summer vacation, the difference is huge."

Seeing her frankly admit it, Makoto Takahashi said in the tone of a doting father, "Although Hanako is concerned about her image, she actually has a strong sense of boundaries. She will probably apologize to you during her lunch break."

"Okay, I forgive her."

Nekoya Hina then turned away from Hanakawa Kaori, who was making friends with everyone, and asked Takahashi Makoto, "Makoto, you don't mind at all?"

"I don't mind. After all, she's someone Maya approves of, and her judgment won't be wrong."

When he mentioned Uesugi Maya, Nekoya Hina felt a sense of foreboding.

—At this rate, I probably won't be able to wait for a single period in my entire life.

We can't just sit here and wait to die!

As Takahashi Makoto expected, during lunch break, Hanakawa Kaori declined everyone's invitations and instead moved a chair to find Nekoya Hina to have lunch together.

Kashima Reiko appeared at the back door of the classroom on time, and Takahashi Makoto walked over to collect his lunchbox.

"Lengzi, is Friday your birthday?" he asked casually.

"Ah."

"Can I come to your house? I have prepared a gift."

"..." Kashima Reiko hesitated, as if she had something difficult to say.

As is tradition, on his birthday, Tachimi Yukiko visits Jiyugaoka's home as a friend, and the two celebrate together.

Makoto Takahashi was clearly not suitable to appear, which is why he wasn't told.

"Besides Yuki, did you make plans with any other friends?" Takahashi Makoto took out his phone and showed her his chat history with Tachimi Yuki.

Kashima Reiko shook her head slightly, and said in a voice devoid of emotion, "Remember to go to the student council later, the young lady is waiting for you."

After saying that, she turned and left deftly.

Makoto Takahashi watched Kashima Reiko's figure disappear around the corner of the stairs and sighed softly.

When he first attended the summer festival, he knew that Kashima Reiko preferred stability, didn't want to take risks, and even less wanted to get involved in relationships without security.

However, maintaining the status quo is not right, and we must take responsibility.

Chapter 123 The Approaching Birthday (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After lunch, Makoto Takahashi walked alone through the courtyard to the standalone building where the student council was located.

The sweltering heat of midsummer has come to an end, and the air still retains the lingering charm of summer. Amidst the fresh scent of the cedar forest, the melodious sounds of a wind ensemble drift far away under the clear sky.

Stepping onto the third-floor corridor, I arrived at the heavy wooden door of the student council president's office.

Pushing open the door, a blast of cold air hits you, cutting into your skin and giving you an unexpected sense of danger.

"Haven't I made myself clear enough?"

"If you can't handle the work of the student union, it's better to resign voluntarily. Otherwise, adding an unsavory record of being dismissed from the student union to your resume will affect your future recommendations."

In the tense atmosphere, Tachibana Yuki's sweet voice sounded unusually cold compared to when she usually talked to him.

The young lady actually has a fierce personality.

As Takahashi Makoto thought to himself, his gaze swept over the two girls who had their backs to him. They stood meekly in front of the desk, heads bowed as they were being scolded, their legs trembling involuntarily beneath their pleated skirts.

The aura of the person in charge exploded, and a low pressure swept through the student council president's office, making even Makoto Takahashi feel a little short of breath.

He glanced at Kashima Reiko, who was calmly eating lunch on the sofa, and sincerely admired her composure.

"Oh, Cheng-kun."

As Takahashi Makoto approached, the oppressive aura emanating from him immediately softened, like melting snow.

She glanced at the two people standing in front of her and said in a slightly helpless tone, "You two should go back first. The archery club should put more effort into their exhibition."

Upon hearing this, the two girls gave Takahashi Makoto grateful looks, nodded to him, and quickly fled the student council.

"Is there a problem with the archery club?" Takahashi Makoto walked over to Tachimi Yuki and picked her up from the chair.

"It's too careless; problems can easily arise."

Tachikawa wrapped his arms around his neck, tilted his head to his chest, and said in a light, airy voice, "Arrows are still sharp weapons, no matter what. They must be put in the display case on the day of the visit. It will be too late if an accident happens."

His girlfriend has a strong sense of crisis management, which is not good news for Makoto Takahashi for the time being.

However, the fact that she stayed overnight at the Kashima residence must have caught the young lady's attention. She is currently ignoring it, perhaps because she doesn't think Kashima Reiko can cause a [crisis]?

Makoto Takahashi carried Yuki Tatsumi out of the student council office and into the adjacent lounge. He pushed open the door with his foot and asked, "Were those two the captains of the archery club?"

"Yes, don't you recognize him, Cheng-jun?"

"It looks familiar. Come to think of it, the archery club was already disbanded before I enrolled."

As he spoke, he placed Tachimi Yuki on the single bed in the lounge.

Sunlight streamed through the frosted glass, falling on her pure, fair face. The young lady lay on the milky-white sheets, her perfectly proportioned figure graceful and slender.

Beautiful legs encased in white stockings peeked out from a slightly pleated black skirt, her white shirt bulged at her chest, and her delicate earlobes were visible through the gaps in her short blonde hair.

Seeing that Takahashi Seiichi couldn't take his eyes off her, Ichiro Yuki's azure eyes lit up with a smile: "I'm going to take a nap, so don't talk back to your older sister."

"I'm starting to hate going to school."

"So, shall we skip class together this afternoon?"

The young lady stepped aside to make room for him on the bed, and Takahashi Makoto lay down on it, putting his arm around her slender waist: "Don't let this happen again?"

"I have math class in the afternoon, so I'm not worried about the entrance exams."

"Speaking of the opening exams, this time I'm going to take first place in the whole school."

"Xiaoye? What kind of strange name is that?"

Tachibana Yuki closed her eyes, frowned slightly, and kicked him in dissatisfaction: "You're not allowed to use pet names for other women. You can only call them by their names, understand?"

"It's a little difficult." Makoto Takahashi buried his face in the back of her neck, breathing in her sweet scent.

"Then you should go back to class this afternoon."

"I love learning."

"I'll get angry."

Tachibana Yuki snuggled against him in a tantrum, and Takahashi Makoto felt the ticklish sensation of her hair brushing against his cheek. He held the young lady tightly in his arms until she fell peacefully asleep.
